露西的一天 第63期:工作與午餐(1)

I get to the office and sit down at my desk. 我到辦公室，坐在我的辦公桌前。

I share a cubicle with another employee, Jim, but he only works in the afternoons so we don't usually get in each other's way too much. 我和另一個(gè)雇員吉姆共用一個(gè)小隔間，但他只在下午工作，這樣我們就不會經(jīng)常互相干擾。

I boot up my computer and look at my agenda for today. 我啟動電腦，看看我今天的日程安排。

I had about 30 new emails in my inbox but I decide not to read them right away. 我的收件箱里有大約30封新郵件，但我決定不馬上看。

There were some new inter-office paperwork in my inbox too, but I decide to look at them a little later. 我的收件箱里也有一些新的辦公室內(nèi)部文件，但我決定稍后再看。

First, I wanted to start in on a report that I had to finish today. 首先，我想先完成一個(gè)今天必須完成的報(bào)告。

I had a conference call at the end of the day with the head office, but I had most of the day to get it done. 今天結(jié)束之前，我要給總部打一個(gè)電話，報(bào)告有關(guān)會議的事情。但我接下來的大半天都可以做這件事。

Before long, it was the lunch hour. 不久，就是午餐時(shí)間了。

I didn't pack a lunch so I ask my supervisor if she wanted to have lunch together. 我沒有自帶午餐，所以我問我的主管她是否想一起吃午飯。

We head down the street to a sit-down restaurant. 我們沿著街道走到一個(gè)提供座位的餐館。

The hostess shows us to a table in the back of the restaurant. 女迎賓員帶我們到餐廳后部的一張桌子。

The waiter arrives a few minutes later and we order entrees, no appetizers, since we need to get back by 1:00. 幾分鐘后，服務(wù)員到了，我們點(diǎn)了主菜，沒點(diǎn)開胃菜，因?yàn)槲覀冃枰?點(diǎn)前趕回來。

The waiter was very busy so I had to wave him down to get the check. 服務(wù)員很忙，所以我不得不揮手讓他結(jié)賬。

He brought the bill, and my supervisor and I split the check. 他拿來了賬單，主管和我平分賬單。

We walk back to the office and I get back to work. 我們走回辦公室，回到工作崗位。

Just four more hours until quitting time! 再過4個(gè)小時(shí)就可以下班了!
